If it only takes 5 minutes to recharge do you really care if the range is 200 or 300 miles? Recharge time is the thing they need to work on.

Yes, but they are already hitting the physical limit.
The fast chargers are using like 360 KW of power. 1000A at 400V.
That’s like little power plant!
Pouring Gas into car is equivalent of ~4MW, ten times more.
The Palo Verde nuclear plant (largest in US) is about 4GW, so it produces power of 1000 Gas pouring stations. Or 10,000 fast charging stations.
Think about it - if everybody uses EV, how many Palo Verdes have to be added?
